In this exciting newly created role, you’ll be supported by senior team members while gradually taking on more responsibility. Your work will include:
- Building strong working relationships with stakeholders who rely on integration solutions.
- Supporting the development and maintenance of integrations using SSIS, SQL, and ZappySys, working with flat files, APIs, and database connections.
- Helping develop integrations using technologies like Java, JavaScript, XML, XSLT, REST, SOAP, and JSON (with training and guidance).
- Assisting with EDI connections for suppliers and customers, and learning common EDI standards along the way.
